so it can actually be pretty easy to keep your budget in mind when you’re shopping for diabetes friendly foods there’s a lot of misconception about what can be healthy and that maybe it’s easier to grab fast foods that are unhealthy but with proper planning you can actually stretch your dollar farther and shop within budget so my first tip would be to plan ahead so that means checking your pantry at home and maybe there’s certain recipes that you want to follow this week so make sure that you have those products available and if you don’t put them on the shopping list so that when you get to the supermarket you know what you want to buy second check your circular and make sure that the items that you want to buy are on sale maybe if it’s the item is non sale that you want it to purchase for a recipe you could buy it in cans or in frozen so when you first walk in the door grab the circular and check for what’s on sale next look for coupons you can check in your circular at the store or you can also check online and grab digital coupons for big products that you want to buy my fourth tip is to shop seasonally so a lot of our seasonal products are going to be on sale so things like asparagus in the spring or strawberries in the spring and summer and last but not least shop with your dietitian so your dietitian might have a lot of great ideas on how you can save money and buy healthy products choosing meals that are affordable yet diabetes friendly is not easy but with just a few minutes of planning each week you can find healthy and affordable meals by shopping your circular you can find meals that are on sale and you can shop seasonally and there’s fast and affordable options within the store so you don’t have to go to fast food restaurants and said you can get premade salads yogurts and nuts that can help you create a healthy meal and just remember to find local resources that can help you can contact the Diabetes Foundation you
